ANNO DOMINATORBURDEN A.D.Violent Journey Records CDIf you like In Flames, you’ll surely embrace this band. Burden A.D hailing from Finland, and they are playing combination of Gothenburg’s melodic death metal with groovy influences. Catchy, fast and humping songs are all what you’ll find on this release. Where In Flames stopped with their standard sound after ‘’Clayman’’ record, this band continues. Production is modern, clean and sharp, so except clean-cut sound. Cover-artwork and inlays are interesting, and lyrically, songs are dealing with real life themes and social issues, inner fears and struggles, except the song ‘’Saw’’ which is, I think is inspired by the same named movie. Material is melodic but with thrash attacks arranged through the sharp riffs, vocals switches from screams to clean voices, and rhythm section simple follows the guitar work, and stands for sound’s complementation. Even that material is colored with much of the fast paced songs, band doesn’t hesitates to fill the sound with acoustic passages in couple of songs. As most representative, I would winnow the tracks like ‘’Marked Fist’’, ‘’Shut the Fuck Up’’ and ‘’Perfect Family’’. Band itself have potential and quality, and good ideas as well, and surely they can do more than this. Very good debut album. Vladimir Petković (8) |
